every data could saved like a wikiwiki

Salve! I used MegaWiki on the PalmPilot, a hack that allows you to use the normal Palm application memo, calendar, todo, addressbook as wiki and of course the Wikpedia. So I love to see some links inbetween applications like MegaWiki for OpenMoko Todo * call [Frank] Frank [Markt 1] tapping on

Bah! I meant to copy the list on that question. Thanks for the answer though. Maybe someone else can also help clarify? I thought fpga were basically PLDs and that they worked exactly the same. I didn't know they lose config without power and need to be reprogrammed. --Tim On Fri, 8 Dec

ui customisation for accessiblity

2006-12-08 Thread Matthew Wood
hello openmoko folks, i've been intrigued by your announcements and would like to ask: can an open platform like yours be used to provide a smartphone ui that's more accessible to the visually impaired? current phones can be really hard to use :-( as more details about the platform

I haven't misposted again. No, really. Inspired by Christopher Heinys thrust, I started wondering about what actual 'average' consumers want. It's my impression that the BlackBerry currently holds the crown for the if I wanted a phone that could also do XYZ:

32bit/64bit datatype issues

2006-12-08 Thread Richard Franks
We had some major headaches with this - mostly because legacy code written for 32bit architectures tends to make silly assumptions that pointers can be cast to integers. But there also a number of tricky cases where it wasn't immediately obvious that the datatype discrepancy was the root cause.

AFAIK from my VERY limited exposure to FPGAs, you actually have a couple options. There is SRAM storage which requires re-program at power cycle. But you also have Fuse/Anti-Fuse FPGAs which are one time programmed; and EPROM, EEPROM, and flash which don't require you to reprogram at power
